Normally users can shutdown their computers. Possibly this was changed in
domain policy. On one of those computer open Local Security Policy
[secpol.msc] and go to security settings/local policies/user rights and look
at the "effective" setting for the user right for "shut down the system". If
the users group is not present you can add it. You would want to do such at
the domain or Organizational Unit Level where that security policy is
defined. The support tool gpresult will show what computer configuration
group policies are applying to the computer. It would be best to define it
in the policy "closest" to the computer such at the OU level GPO if one is
used. Otherwise it probably is defined in Domain Security Policy. --- Steve
